I don’t know my biological father. I was adopted by my grandparents when I was just a baby.
I’ve never felt like I was missing something, though, because I do have a dad.
He may not be biological, but maybe that makes him even more special?
He stepped up when I needed someone to care for me, adopted me as his daughter and raised me.
To celebrate him on Father’s Day, we took him out to dinner at his favorite restaurant.
I love my family more than I can say. They are terrific and I am very blessed.
I am Al and could you say a prayer for my dad? He has Bell’s Palsy (which is why his face is droopy in these photos) and is having a difficult time.
aw this is such a sweet post! I really want to adopt when I'm older so I love hearing stories of people who were adopted! so neat.

those are awesome photos of your familyyyy :)
ReplyDeleteI'm back. I was curious and looked at your twitter, and your facebook. I discovered something awesome. You go to harding, I love harding. Small world, eh? I was at bison daze this past fall.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. My step-dad (like you, I consider him my real father) went through Bell's Palsy and it's tough to see the person you love go through it. But his condition improved fairly quickly (in a month or so). It may take some time, but it does improve. Good luck and much virtual blogger support.
ReplyDeletePickleope, thank you for the virtual blogger support! I love this online community. They are expecting it to clear up in the next few months. Such a blessing from the Lord!
ReplyDeleteI am thinking about it! I absolutely loved it! I'm also thinking about Freed-Hardeman, it's closer to home. That's if I get to go to either (I'll need awesome scholarships!) But I'm hoping (:
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post. I could really feel you love you dad so much.
ReplyDeleteI also don't have my biological father, well, I don't grow up with a father..not even a grandpa..it was just me, my siblings and our mom..
but still I love him..
If you have a spare time, I'd appreciate it so much if you could visit and read my related post at, wordsandpen.com/dance for my father

Aw! Happy Fathers day to your dad! And congrats on your FTLOB feature! Can I just say... The zonkey pics made my day! ;)
ReplyDeleteI am also adopted and my parents are 40 years older than me, so often times what some people would consider very young grandparents. I know much of my biological family since my biological mother was a girl at church, but I will probably never know who my biological father is. I also don't feel like I ever missed out on anything too.
